​Once Upon Once Again is a collection of thirty fairy tales. Many of the stories include fairies or even have a fairy as the main character. One of the stories involves a ferry, some portray an animal as the main character, while a couple of stories might be better called tall tales. Most of them are laced with humour.

A fat fairy becomes slim
A shepherd boy watches out for dragons
A reclusive girl lives in a treehouse
A fairy shelters under a mushroom
Rival siblings face some challenges
Some minors slave in a coal mine
An Albino transforms an island
A fairy learns about appreciation
A lad chances upon a rainbow's end
A prince is imprisoned in a dungeon
A young boy loses his milk teeth
A servant lad invents a funky machine
A poor boy tries to please a princess
A young man digs a deep, deep well
A red ox grows a long tail
A boy finds a lodestone
A boy is adopted by a bear
A homeless lad lives in a hollow tree
A rockstar hopeful trades his shadow
A goatherd dreams of flying
A servant boy finds favour
A prince is made to laugh at himself
A scavenger finds a home
A jiggery travels through time
A shrew travels to the far side
A family of three share an island home
A fishery uses an amazing lure
A little ferry faces the competition
A dot divides
A fairy shrinks her tail
